who has a better chance at an ivy

<p>person a:
Academics - 2400 SAT, 3 SAT II 800s, 4.0 GPA, 8 APs, valedictorian
EC - Nothing
Sports - Nothing</p>

<p>person b:
Academics - 1800 SAT, 3 SAT IIs in the 600s, 3.5 GPA, 6 APs, top 40%
EC - Leadership Club 4 years, School Newspaper 3 years (Started a comic strip), Big Brother Mentor Program 1 year, Founded Asian American Club, writer/chief editor of a literary magazine, extra community service (non-required for school),
Sports - Nothing</p>

<p>I would say person A.</p>

<p>Person A...</p>

<p>A-mostly b/c of SAT scores. Bring it up to 2100 and 700 average and it would lean closer to b</p>

<p>ok lets say Cornell</p>

<p>Assuming that person B is Asian (considering that he/she is the founder of the Asian-American club), even if he/she boosted his/her SAT to 2100, I wouldn't give him/her much of a chance.</p>

<p>Person A, grade/scores mean more no matter what. Extracurriculars are just..well..extra.</p>

<p>It's almost as if OP wants us to say Person B - I'm judging from the way he's phrased things.</p>

<p>HOWEVER, it is simply extremely difficult for me to believe Person A has NO ECs. Perhaps no sports, yes. But someone with those stats should at least be doing some academic ECs like math team, science olympiad, quiz bowl, and so on. So I doubt that we are getting an accurate representation, and whatever information is missing most likely weighs in Person A's favor.</p>

<p>So I choose Person A.</p>

<p>lulz, lostinbalt we know you're person B. =&lt;/p>

<p>person a>person b.....if person b could bring up his/her sat scores maybe theyd have a chance</p>

<p>I think you'd have to be both person A and person B..</p>

<p>Most likely, both have little to no chance of getting into an Ivy. Well, except if you apply Cornell ED, then maybe first one has a chance.</p>

<p>BTW, ;)

<p>^ I agree w/ post # 12, but between the two, it would be A. 600's on SAT IIs are too low for ivys.</p>

<p>Person A......definitely</p>

<p>B's EC are not that great hook. Definitely A. (even though ivies won't accept students like A.. well maybe)</p>

<p>Yeah, I think that lostinbalt is Person B... LMAO.</p>

<p>It's probably equal. A's complete lack of ECs and sports would do a great deal of harm. At least B is well rounded. Sure, not spectacular, but well-rounded.</p>

<p>0% to 0%...</p>

<p>Close call. I'd say they have about equal chance.</p>

<p>Why do you guys say 0% for both people? Where is the justification?</p>

<p>you won't get in with no ec's. you won't get in with scores that low. very unlikely for both</p>
